Good lord, Koei Tecmo! You've done it again. Just look at all these Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate assets. What are we supposed to do with all of these? Look at them? Well, okay.
It seems we have a melange of glamorous "new gene...

Warriors Orochi 3 is Tecmo Koei's Super Smash Bros. Considering Nintendo's pedigree as compared to Tecmo Koei's, that statement can be seen as quite laughable, but nevertheless, Warriors Orochi 3 dabbles in the kind of crosso...

Sony Computer Entertainment has confirmed to IGN that Warrior's Lair -- or Ruin, depending on how long ago you lost interest in the game -- is no longer in development for PlayStation Vita and PS3. We all figured it'd happen ...

If you've been holding out for Warp, but you don't happen to own an Xbox 360, you'll be relieved to know that it is finally out for PlayStation 3 and PC. On PC though, you won't find it on Steam. Instead, you'll have to head...

In the '80s, if you had three friends over who all wanted to play Atari with you, there was really only one game you would reach for.
Warlords was the go-to game for multiplayer combat, and it was also the source for many fru...

Relic Entertainment tossed a little holiday tease up on the official Twitter account for Space Marine today. The above image, which shows a Space Marine going toe-to-toe with a Dreadnought was sent out along with the message ...

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine is due to receive its first paid downloadable content in December, with a "Chaos Unleashed" expansion to the freely released Exterminatus co-op mode.
Up to four players will be able to ste...

On Tuesday of next week, Warhammer 40,000: Kill Team will become available to PlayStation Network users in North America. As was the case with the already out Xbox Live Arcade release, this twin-stick shooter will be $9.99.

Destructoid's been given an exclusive early post of this new War of the Worlds trailer, and it's quite the treat! Showing off some intense moments from the game, the footage does a good job of communicating just how spine-ti...

Nostalgia is a funny thing. Sometimes, what we remember fondly from our youth turns out to not be as enjoyable as we get older. It can cloud our perceptions, and we hope that new things based on cherished memories will hold t...

Vividred Operation, one of several Japanese animes I know nothing about, is coming to PlayStation 3 courtesy of Namco Bandai, Dangeki announces. The game has a teaser site and three screenshots released, showing off the color...

Sony and Polyphony Digital came out with a few surprises for the Gran Turismo franchise at their gamescom press conference yesterday. In addition to the announcement of a Gran Turismo movie, another item that had social netwo...

Before Street Fighter IV completely revamped excitement in the fighting game scene back in 2009, Virtua Fighter was still going strong with the fifth installment hitting a couple years earlier. Even though the arcade, PlaySta...

Sega's hoping that Virtua Fighter 5 will find a following on Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network. The publisher has announced that it'll be releasing the standalone Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown for Xbox 360 and PS3 n...

There was an out-of-nowhere nod to Vib-Ribbon at Sony's E3 press conference this year, and then nothing. No follow-up announcement. That wasn't very nice at all.
But everything will be better, soon enough: the cult PlayStatio...

In a bit of sour news for fans of puzzle platformers, it appears that Namco Bandai, who was handling the Xbox Live Arcade release of 2012's PC title Vessel, has stopped working on the port. In an email with XBLA Fans, John Kr...

Back when I wrote for one of those girl gamer sites (yes, even I have a dark past), I got a press release about a game the got me pretty excited. Small German development team, Deck 13 were to publish Venetica, a fantasy them...

The choice was simple: Go indie or go big. However, over the past console generation, this changed. Now, some indies make more money than major studios, and “going indie” has become a fair bit more difficult th...

In case Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance isn't enough action from Platinum Games for one week, PlayStation 3 owners can step up to the plate for a second helping in the form of Vanquish. The high-energy third-person shooter arr...

Hey. Because I'm an idiot, I missed out on picking up Valkyria Chronicles for $8 two weeks ago.
Because I am handsome, cool, talented and have nice eyes, Valkyria Chronicles is now on sale on the videogame website GamersGate ...

Valiant Hearts: The Great War was a wonderful experience that came out not too long ago on consoles and PC. And now it's set to arrive on iOS devices on September 4. Same game, just controls redesigned with touch screen in mind.
No price point was given, but now you will have no excuse to miss this one.

Back in February, PlayStation 3 and Vita owners finally got their taste of the motorcycle madness found in the Trials HD series that Xbox owners have been enjoying for years. Sadly, Urban Trial Freestyle just didn't seem to h...

It's part two of the Valentine's Day Massacre, But, instead of mobsters in a warehouse, it's adolescents in the woods. Still, the result's similarly gruesome in Until Dawn.
Valentine's Day might be about romance and love, but judging by this trailer, no one should expect to last until dawn.

Back in the day, Unreal -- the game, not the engine -- was the hotness. It was absurdly fast-paced and addictive and, sadly, hasn't been mentioned since it's lackluster appearance on PS3 in 2007. We're not the only ones ...

Unmechanical has been available on iOS and PC for a few years now, but we at Destructoid have sadly neglected it for all that time. I have even personally looked at emails, thought "that looks neat," and then put it in the ba...

Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late just launched in North America and it's already being offered at a deep discount via the PlayStation Store. Plus members can grab the PS3 fighter for a measly $23.79, while those without a subscr...

Helicopters are complex, unwieldy machines. In games, their difficulties are either flat-out ignored (Twin Cobra) or make for one of the steepest learning curves you’ll ever face (Battlefield 2). Under Defeat is a ba...

Donkey Kong was a videogame and, as far as I know, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune is a videogame. Naturally, the guy who directed the documentary about Donkey Kong players, King of Kong, is a good fit to direct the upcoming Uncha...

I don't watch much (if any) live television, so I would have probably missed this new Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception spot Sony just aired. It also aired during the NFL Kickoff game between the Packers and the Saints, and I'd...

[Update: It looks like Sony caught wind of what was going on and has temporarily removed the game to prevent folks from loading up on free Uncharted. It was fun while it lasted.]
Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception's single-p...

"Hey, I'm Nathan Drake. If you're the adventurous type like me, then get in on the Subway taste for adventure," says Nathan Drake in the above video.
The idea of videogames and marketing departments working together is...

Today via the Playstation Blog, Sony has announced the Co-Op Shade Survival Mode, coming to Uncharted 3 on March 13. In this new mode, players will battle the Djinn, demonic specters able to teleport and catch fire, in...

In a big-budget videogame, most of the memorable moments (alliteration!) occur during the game’s extended action sequences or over-the-top boss battles. And there is nothing wrong with that! I will always love my battle...

[Update: Sorry for the original mistype in the headline folks! The word "characters" has been swapped out for "content." The original wording was made in error.]
Ultra Street Fighter IV, the latest in a seemingly never-ending...

Jeez. How many more copies of this game do you need? Capcom has us in a continual air juggle with these upgrades and re-releases lately, so it's easy to become indifferent to a new title with an old name. That said, even if y...

Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 will be arriving on the PlayStation Vita as one of the many launch games for Sony's new handheld. I went hands-on in a couple of matches and, shocker, UMvC3 is pretty identical to the console...

When word first broke that Comedy Central was producing a game based on Ugly Americans, their animated series about a New York City filled with co-habitating humans, demons and other creatures, I had a hard time coming to gri...

I'm not an athletic person. To me, exercise if the farthest thing from fun, and exhausting myself half to death is akin to self flagellation. Even the never-changing world of sports is something that I find quite uninterestin...

THQ has today launched the first DLC for its fitness training game UFC Personal Trainer: The Ultimate Fitness System. The game's available on Xbox 360 (with Kinect), the Wii and on the PS3 (with PS Move), but THQ are rel...

THQ dropped their latest trailer for next year's UFC Undisputed 3. One of the big pushes -- as evident by all the sweaty men beating the crap out of each other -- is the myriad of advanced techniques added to the game....

Topware Interactive is releasing Two Worlds II: Velvet Game of the Year Edition on October 18 and yes, there is velvet.
The velvet covers the entire box -- black for PC and Mac, red for Xbox 360 and PS3 -- along with me...

It looks like Twisted Metal 1 and Black weren't the only ones joining the fun, as the PSN is getting an all-out four game birthday pack for $39.99. Should you decide to go with the piecemeal approach, the new 2012 Twiste...

Omega Force is best known for the Dynasty Warriors series and its related hack n' slash spin-offs, due mostly to the fact that it's made a billion of them. In fact, the last truly unique game Omega Force made was the rather g...

The latest round of games for PlayStation Plus members has been announced, and if you're a sports fan, puzzle enthusiast, or platformer junkie, you should be pleased at what there is for the taking. June's PlayStation Plus ga...

Giving players the ability to create within a videogame's given boundaries has produced some real gems. Whether it be mods like Counter-Strike and DOTA or editor-focused games like Little Big Planet, providing a community wi...

High Moon Studios set a decent bar with its Activision-published Transformers games in terms of quasi film tie-ins (though the crown still goes to X-Men Origins: Wolverine, in my book). None of them were mind-blowingly g...

After the mostly favorable reception of Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, High Moon Studios has been patiently working on its first series of downloadable content.
The DLC packs will be give players the chance to to control s...

Before the review begins, I feel it's my duty to warn anybody who considers purchasing this -- there's barely any mention of the Moon at all. In fact, the Moon appears in the campaign's end credits more than it appears in the game itself.
Transformers: Dark of the Moon is a big lie.

Tower of Guns was in a recent Humble Indie Bundle, which means I played a little of it but didn't stick around quiiite long enough for it to take hold of me. It's good, though! Hard, too.
The roguelike first-person shooter o...

The Tony Hawk series has had a bumpy ride lately. Although I noted my small affinity towards Shred in my Quest to beat every Tony Hawk game ever this year, it was too little too late: Activision had lost most of its market an...

Only in its first week of sales up to this point, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD has already sold a total of 120,000 downloads. Apparently, its day-to-day sales have also managed to stay consistent since last Wednesday. It's worth...

Legendary skateboarder Tony Hawk was hanging out in San Francisco this week for the Game Developers Conference showing off Tony Hawk HD. Our tall freak of nature Max Scoville got a chance to talk with the man hims...

Monkey Paw finished its six-week Retro Rush PSN releases today with Tomba! 2. It's also only six bucks right now, but it's supposed to be retailing for 10.
Apparently both the English version and PAL version (which is availab...

Sorry about that, Europe. We were pretty excited about Tomba! coming to PlayStation Network for a while there -- especially when it became playable on PlayStation Vita -- but now you too can partake in the fun. Tomba! is out ...

The Tomb Raider reboot had series high day one and month one sales, according to studio head Darrell Gallagher. Despite this, Tomb Raider's estimated 3.4 million first month sales were deemed a "slow start" by Square Enix, wh...

From the book of "better late than never," Ubisoft have released a Season Pass for Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier on PC along with the arrival of the game's first piece of DLC entitled, Arctic Strike.

For those of you looking for a reason to dust off your copies of Ghost Recon Future Soldier, look no further! Ubisoft has just announced the next content release for Future Soldier across all platform, Khyber Strike.

NIS America announced today that Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters will be making its way to Europe in 2015, so no one has to be left behind when it comes to bustin' ghosts. 'Cause it makes you feel good and all.

While there sadly isn't a PlayStation Vita version of Tokyo Jungle, being able to play the bizarre, remarkable PlayStation Network title on the system using Remote Play is the next best thing right now. The patch which provid...
